  WHEREAS, Individual and team championships are highly  sought  after
in  high  school  sports;  this  Legislative Body commends rare athletic
achievements and pays special  recognition  to  those  who  pursue  such
excellence and become examples for the youth of this great Empire State;
and

instilling in them the importance of teamwork, encouraging a standard of
healthy living, and developing a sense of fair play and competition; and

  WHEREAS, This Legislative Body is justly proud to  congratulate  the
Moravia High School Girls Basketball Team upon the occasion of capturing
the  NYSPHSAA Basketball Class C Championship, held on Friday, March 15,
2024, at Hudson Valley Community College in Troy, New York; and

  WHEREAS, To the praise and  applause  of  their  excited  fans,  the

winning their first Section IV championship over Watkins Glen, and  then
driving  on  to their first state title championship in program history;
and

  WHEREAS, With the Moravia High School Boys Basketball Team capturing
the championship as well on March 16, 2024, it is the first time ever  a
school  from  Section IV has earned both the boys and girls state titles
in the same year; both teams received a joyous  welcome  home  from  the
community with a "champions parade" through the village; and

  WHEREAS, Proudly donning the school's colors of navy blue and white,
family, friends, and the community at large loyally and enthusiastically
supported  the  Blue Devils throughout their journey as they ended their
season with an impressive 24-1 record; and

  WHEREAS, In a sport  such  as  basketball,  which  demands  athletic
prowess,  speed  and agility, Head Coach John Crossgrove has worked hard
to hone the skills of this championship team, teaching these outstanding
athletes lessons which will prove invaluable both on and off the  court;
and

  WHEREAS,  Head  Coach  John  Crossgrove  and  all of the outstanding
athletes on the Moravia High School Girls Basketball Team  have  clearly
utilized  dedication, determination, and teamwork in providing a lasting
contribution to the spirit of excellence which is a tradition  of  their
school; now, therefore, be it
